12/8/2023 0 Comments Io to outboard conversion bracketAs a result the seller mistakenly thought it was a Riviera boat with a misprinted title. Then the block that says "odometer status or Vessel Manufacturer or OH use" block says RIVERTRA. However there's some blank information blocks in my title. The vin number on the title exactly matches the vin number that's permanently etched into the boat. The beam is 8 ft, 3,340 lbs dry, 21.17 ft long. It's a Corona by Seahart Manufacturing Co. I finally figured out exactly who manufactured my boat and have some better specs on it after lots of help from Google. I know it's becoming a pretty popular thing to do nowadays- instead of buying a much bigger boat. I'm guessing that when the time comes I'll be shopping for an engine in the 175-200 hp range?Īnyone who's done a conversion please chime in. It' seems to be a fairly heavy hull, I had to jack it off the ground today since it's laying in someone's back yard in the weeds. I don't know if it's the same company that makes the motor yachts. I can't seem to find any online sources listing the specs as in weight, width, original horsepower setup, etc. I'm looking for a source of information about this Riviera boat. We don't fish, we just cruise in the Intracoastal waterway. If two people try to walk around the console they're pushing each other out of the way, I don't want that, I want big open area. I guess the front of the boat has some room. Most of our friends have 26-30 foot center consoles made for deep sea fishing, nice T-Tops etc, and they just simply have no room inside the boat. I've looked at plenty of center consoles, and bowriders, and there's just nothing with even remotely close to this much free room as when you do the I/O to Outboard conversion. The plan is to reinforce the transom and install a 30" bracket, and an outboard. So for us this is everything my wife and I want so we can bring friends and our dogs. We currently have a 16 ft grumman with no room at all. I go from the boat ramp to the sand bar every weekend and party with friends. ![]() ![]() The thing I love the most about this boat is the huge amount of rear interior space, and now with the engine removed it's got another 4 more feet of interior. ![]() The hull's in solid shape, needs cushions replaced and new covering on the instrument panels. Looking at a 1995 Riviera 21 ft bowrider that's missing the engine and outdrive. I'm about to attempt a fun little project over the next year, hopefully be done by next summer.
